Demonstrators, now on their third week occupying the Florida Capitol, staged a "people's session" Tuesday in the old Senate chambers of the historic Capitol and were joined by civil-rights activist Jesse Jackson.

Jackson joined youth delegates as they outlined several joint resolutions declaring their own session and setting several days in remembrance of those who have been affected by Florida's Stand Your Ground law and racial profiling.
